Overall Satisfaction with SAP Integrated Business Planning

SAP IBP is used to modernise and standardise Demand and Supply planning in a supply network comprising of many production plants and distribution centres in Western Europe, Northern Europe, US and Canada. Each node in the network having previously used clunky, disintegrated planning tools; often based on spreadsheets with no common master data.
Now, supply chain planning is standardised across the group with S&OP cycle time reduced by over 80%, forecast accuracy improved by 20% and less stressed planners!
